The Arrow in the Head Show debate Dario Argento’s Suspiria and the 2018 remake

A new episode of The Arrow in the Head Show has just been released, and in this one our hosts John “The Arrow” Fallon and Lance Vlcek are looking back at a 1977 film that is often named as one of the all-time great horror classics: Dario Argento’s Suspiria (get it HERE) and they also debate the remake! Director/Actor Joe Cornet also drops by to talk about his upcoming Giallo inspired film Night of the Caregiver and sexy thriller Kaleidoscope.

To hear Mr. Cornet discuss his films and find out what The Arrow and Lance had to say about Suspiria and its remake, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Argento from a screenplay he wrote with Daria Nicolodi, inspired by Thomas De Quincey’s Suspiria de Profundis, Suspiria has the following synopsis:

Suzy travels to Germany to attend ballet school. When she arrives, late on a stormy night, no one lets her in, and she sees Pat, another student, fleeing from the school. When Pat reaches her apartment, she is murdered. The next day, Suzy is admitted to her new school, but has a difficult time settling in. She hears noises, and often feels ill. As more people die, Suzy uncovers the terrifying secret history of the place.

The film stars Jessica Harper, Stefania Casini, Flavio Bucci, Miguel Bosé, Barbara Magnolfi, Susanna Javicoli, Eva Axén, Alida Valli, and Joan Bennett.

Here’s some information on The Arrow in the Head Show:

We’re trying something a bit new here on Arrow In The Head. After many years behind the scenes, we’ve decided to take our sarcastic, booze-influenced style into the video age with The Arrow In The Head Show! Hosted by John Fallon aka The Arrow and Lance Vlcek, we will dig into not only the newest horror flicks hitting the big and small screens but also delve into the good, bad, and ugly of horror from the golden ages of the ’80s through the underrated 90s and maybe a bit beyond.

Something groovy and a tad rough around the edges, we are here to talk shop with a drink in hand, a bit of foul language, and a whole lot of heart.

The Suspiria episode of the show was Edited by Lance.
